Initial Setup (Section 1)

 

 

 

 

Initial Setup (Section 1)

1. On first load of the Ignition Card Catcher, you’ll be asked to pick your database. The Ignition Card Catcher only supports Holdem Manager 2,  PokerTracker 4, and Hand2Note for HUD Support. It will catch hands in real time for importing into Holdem Manager 1 and PokerTracker 3, but will not launch a HUD.

 

 

 

2. Ignition Card Catcher will auto setup your import directories for you. Once it’s setup you’ll receive the below message. However, it’s important to double check your settings in your poker database to ensure that your database is importing from the correct directory (see section 2 for PokerTracker 4 or section 3, for Holdem Manager 2).

If it’s not there, then click the ADD button, and add: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ace Poker Solutions\Ignition Card Catcher\Handhistories. Click OK and close the Import Configuration screen.

 

 

5. Load up Ignition / Bodog Poker client and log into your account.

6. Once the import folder is properly setup, make sure that the Ignition Card Catcher says STOP CATCHING (this means it’s grabbing hands from ignition and creating hand histories) on the main interface. If it doesn’t for any reason, then click START CATCHING.

 

7. Lastly, from PokerTraker 4 click on PLAY POKER, and GET HANDS WHILE PLAYING.

 

8. Load up some tables and start playing. The HUD will take a hand or two to load from PokerTracker and then the HUD will appear on the tables.
